I've dreamed of this post so many times over the last five years, and then almost daily over the past year. I'll cut right to the news…

I wrote a book.

It's available for preorder.

It's called Invisible Inheritance: A Guide to Healing Anxiety Across Generations.

This is a book—a guide—about healing anxiety, but it's so much more than that—

It's about navigating the complex journey of anxiety—your own, your parent’s, your child’s, or all of the above.

It's about befriending anxiety—not just surviving anxiety, but understanding it, living with it, healing through it, and eventually changing the story for the next generation.

It's about deepening your relationship with yourself and getting back to the person who you've always been before anxiety got loud.

It's about exploring the roots of generational anxiety, how it moves through family systems, and how it shows up in our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, including parenting.

It's about finding new language for your experience, practical tools to respond differently along the anxiety journey, and hope that healing is possible, starting with you.

This book is not just a clinical guide or a memoir or a self-help book, though it borrows from all three. It is an invitation. A flashlight in the fog. I hope that it helps you explore your anxiety journey, untangle what isn’t yours to carry, and step into a different legacy—one that includes peace, connection, intentionality, and freedom.

If you see yourself repeating generational patterns you swore you would break, this book is for you.

If you are exhausted from carrying pain, trauma, and anxiety, and are ready for a different way forward, this book is for you.

If you've found yourself exhausted by your emotional patterns, and want a compassionate guide forward, this book is for you.

If you want to raise emotionally resilient children, but aren't sure how to change what feels instinctual, this book is for you.

It's taken me years to compile this book. It weaves together clinical insight (from over a decade of sitting across from clients in my practice), lived experience, and narrative storytelling. Many of the stories you’ll encounter are composites or fictionalized representations drawn from recurring themes observed in my clinical work. Two stories, in part one of the book, are based on recorded interviews conducted specifically for this book. Anxious achievers, this book is for you.

There is so much more that I want to share about this work, and I will be sharing so much more in the weeks to come both here and on my social channels, but I would be honored if you would consider preordering the book. Preorders are the best way to support an author.

There are two ways you can currently preorder:

Thank you so much for supporting this work, and for being here in this community. This book has been a culmination of my life's work up until this point, and I am humbled to share with you everything I know about the legacy work of healing anxiety.

With love,
Dr. Nicole

I speak to leaders, parents, and (small and large) organizations about emotional endurance, work-life blend, high-functioning anxiety, and sustainable leadership.
